Send a Valentine to a Child in the Hospital for Free
Instead of worrying about Valentine’s Day and whether you have love in your life, try giving a little love: send a sick child a Valentine.
Many hospitals have programs where you can send a personalized card with encouraging messages to children struggling to recover from the holiday. SlickDeals has collected some of the largest ; The types of cards vary, but usually a hospital has several options: a place to enter your name and email address, and a section for a personalized message.
There is one small drawback:
By providing your email address, some (not all) organizations may automatically register (or voluntarily request) members to receive periodic email updates from the organization to which you provided your information. You can unsubscribe or unsubscribe (with automatic subscription) at any time.
You can also use email to record if you want to stay out of trouble. The cards themselves will only show your name, not your email address, and they will be “randomly distributed to patients or displayed throughout the hospital” rather than being sent to specific individuals. Try sending an upbeat message to several hospitals, not just one in your area, and know that you are making someone’s Valentine’s Day a little more fun.
